Invest in ME Research is an independent UK charity facilitating & funding a strategy of high-quality biomedical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)
WHO Regional Director Europe opened #IIMEC18 affirming-
"ME is a serious, complex, multi-system physical illness,
involving neurological, immune, and metabolic dysfunction"
- Dr Hans Kluge @WHO_Europe

"I think the most important concept is longitudinal monitoring, tracking your own trajectory over time. If something consistently changes or drops, that means something is wrong. Medicine today often misses that."

Day 3 | Continuing the session with data standardisation and sharing, updates from a multinational Long COVID treatment trial, and specialised care for seriously and very seriously ill people with ME.

Day 2 | Session 4, chaired by Jonas Bergquist.
Exploring autonomic dysfunction, oxidative stress, 3D chromatin architecture, the gut–microbiome–brain axis, PEM mechanisms, and GLP-1s in ME/CFS and Long COVID.

Day 2 | Session 2, chaired by Rikke Olsen.
Exploring mitochondrial energy metabolism, the itaconate shunt hypothesis, and failures in peripheral oxygen transport in ME/CFS.

@TanteRos Thank you for the kind words
Still all volunteers - and ALL funds directed to funding & facilitating bimedical research into ME
A wonderful family of researchers is meeting near Cambridge this week to advance research into #mecfs - #brmec15#IIMEC18@YoungEmerg@euromeresearch
